The ALDH2 Gene Acute Alcohol Sensitivity NGS Genetic DNA Test is a cutting-edge genetic analysis that identifies mutations in the ALDH2 gene responsible for alcohol intolerance. This comprehensive test uses Next-Generation Sequencing technology to detect specific genetic variants that impair alcohol metabolism, leading to symptoms like facial flushing, nausea, and rapid heartbeat after alcohol consumption. Understanding your ALDH2 genetic profile can help you make informed decisions about alcohol consumption and reduce health risks. The test costs $500 USD and provides valuable insights for individuals experiencing adverse reactions to alcohol or those with family history of alcohol sensitivity. Results are delivered within 3-4 weeks with professional genetic counseling included.

ALDH2 Gene Acute Alcohol Sensitivity NGS Genetic DNA Test

Understanding ALDH2 Gene Alcohol Sensitivity

The ALDH2 Gene Acute Alcohol Sensitivity NGS Genetic DNA Test represents a breakthrough in personalized medicine, offering individuals crucial insights into their genetic predisposition to alcohol intolerance. This advanced diagnostic tool examines the aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) gene, which plays a critical role in alcohol metabolism. When this gene contains specific mutations, it can lead to an accumulation of toxic acetaldehyde in the body, causing the characteristic “Asian flush” reaction and other adverse symptoms.

What Does This Test Measure?

Our comprehensive NGS genetic analysis specifically targets:

  • ALDH2 gene mutations (particularly the rs671 variant)
  • Genetic variations affecting alcohol dehydrogenase enzymes
  • Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with alcohol metabolism
  • Genetic markers for acetaldehyde accumulation risk

Who Should Consider ALDH2 Genetic Testing?

This test is particularly recommended for individuals experiencing:

  • Facial flushing, redness, or warmth after alcohol consumption
  • Rapid heartbeat or palpitations when drinking alcohol
  • Nausea, dizziness, or headaches following alcohol intake
  • Family history of alcohol intolerance or sensitivity
  • Individuals of East Asian descent (higher prevalence of ALDH2 deficiency)
  • Those concerned about alcohol-related health risks

Key Benefits of ALDH2 Genetic Testing

Personalized Health Insights

Understanding your ALDH2 genetic profile provides numerous advantages:

  • Informed Decision Making: Make educated choices about alcohol consumption based on your genetic makeup
  • Risk Reduction: Identify and minimize health risks associated with alcohol metabolism issues
  • Family Planning: Understand potential genetic inheritance patterns for future generations
  • Preventive Healthcare: Implement lifestyle changes to protect your long-term health
  • Medical Guidance: Provide valuable information to healthcare providers for personalized treatment plans

Understanding Your Test Results

Your ALDH2 genetic test results will fall into one of several categories:

Normal ALDH2 Function

If you have normal ALDH2 gene variants, your body efficiently metabolizes alcohol without significant acetaldehyde accumulation. This indicates typical alcohol tolerance levels.

ALDH2 Deficiency

A positive result for ALDH2 mutations suggests reduced enzyme activity, leading to alcohol sensitivity. This genetic profile requires careful alcohol consumption management.

Heterozygous vs. Homozygous Variants

Our test distinguishes between carrying one copy (heterozygous) or two copies (homozygous) of the ALDH2 mutation, which affects the severity of alcohol sensitivity symptoms.
